CREATION cooking modes
! All cooking modes have a default cooking
temperature which may be adjusted manually to a
value between 30°C and 250°C as desired (300°C for
GRILL mode). CREATION cooking modes include
all manual programmes.
The oven controls all essential aspects of each of
these cooking modes and makes it easier for you to
create the perfect dish, from the simplest recipe to
the most sophisticated culinary delights: the
temperature, heat source, humidity and fan assisted
operation are all controlled automatically.

the cooking mode selected; however, you may
adjust it to suit your recipe.
You can also set a cooking duration with an
immediate or delayed start.

maximum of two racks may be used at the same
time.

This type of cooking can be used for proving,
defrosting, preparing yoghurt, heating dishes at the
required speed and slow cooking at low
